Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT), developed over a decade ago, was among the first “democratizing” genotyping technologies, as its performance was primarily driven by the level of DNA sequence variation in the species rather than by the level of financial investment
Understanding the distribution of genetic diversity within and among individuals, populations, species and gene pools is crucial for the efficient management of germplasm collections. Molecular markers are playing an increasing role in germplasm characterization, yet their broad application is limited by the availability of markers, the costs and the low throughput of existing technologies.
Here we present the successful application of the microarray technology platform to the analysis of DNA polymorphisms. Using the rice genome as a model, we demonstrate the potential of a high-throughput genome analysis method called Diversity Arrays Technology, DArT. In the format presented here the technology is assaying for the presence (or amount) of specific DNA fragment in a representation derived from the total genomic DNA of an organism or a population of organisms.
Please do not ship samples after the 17th of December 2021.
International Customers
Please do not ship samples after the 10th of December 2021.
To avoid any freight, shipping or quarantine delays, we strongly encourage you to ship samples to us when we re-open in the new year. We can not be responsible for shipments sent after the above dates, are delayed, and don’t reach us before we close on Christmas Eve.
DArT Christmas/New Year Closure
DArT will be closed from 12:00pm on Friday 24th December 2021 (Christmas Eve) and re-open on Monday 3rd of January 2021.
As always, we would like to thank all of our partners for their support and looking forward to working with you all in 2022.
